Major Chiko Tshitambwe organise his forces to block M23 advances after the fall of Kanyabayonga

 

This Saturday morning, the rebels took control of the cities of Luofu and Kayna in the territory of Lubero. Major General Chiko Tshitambwe, Commander of the Northern Front, reorganizes and mobilizes the troop leaders to block the rebels who have the ambition to overflow to Alimbongo and thus cut off the road to the FARDC still present in Kirumba. Contrary to the rumors spread by the digital army of M23_RDF and by certain populations manipulated by the enemy, as well as by some political and civil actors from the Far North of the North Kivu province and the country, Major General Chiko Tshitambwe is neither in Butembo nor in Beni(There is video circulating on social media that Genral narrowly escaped linching by the civilians who wanted to throw him outta a hotel in Butembo). He is actually on the front line. It should be noted that according to several testimonies, it is thanks to the rigor of General Major General Chiko Tshitambwe that the city of Kanyabayonga held for more than 30 days before falling yesterday into the hands of the M23 rebels who received sufficient reinforcement in men and ammunition to relaunch the assaults on Fardc.
